This is irrelevant, and besises the point. People arguing about hardware or number of cores are equally missing the point.
Even discussions of which is stronger under what conditions, or whether Stockfish dev would be stronger or not, miss the point.

The astounding thing here is that Alpha Zero is in the same ballpark as Stockfish. Especially given the claim of how little time was spent training Alpha Zero.

whats does that means practicaly? even a supercomputer before aplha zero can make
a 80% score vs st8
its not about chess its about NN revolution with special chips(TPU-tensor cpu),thats the missed point.

No it can't. Hydra died because Rybka running on a puny computer was able to outplay it despite Hydra running on expensive hardware.

Johnny runs on these crazy 2000+ core servers and it's no match for Stockfish. There's only so much that hardware can do for software.

Stockfish 8 probably doesn't get much of an elo increase after 32 cores. You can give Stockfish 8 two billion cores and it wouldn't beat AlphaZero.
